All ground pins should be connected. If none of the signals on the second connector pins 101 to 200 are used then you
may not fit the connector to reduce costs, but mechanical stablity needs to be considered.

The voltage on GPIO pins 0-27 must not exceed CM4_3.3V if +3.3V signalling is used or CM4_1.8V if +1.8V signalling is
used. These pins are the same as on the 40-pin connector on the Raspberry Pi 4, Model B.

If the CM4_1.8V rail is use to power other devices other than the GPIO_Vref then you should ensure that in case of surprise
power removal ( e.g.the +5V pin goes below +4.5V ) from the CM4, the load on the CM4_1.8V must go to zero.

Similarly if the CM4_3.3V rail is used to power other devices other than the GPIO_Vref, then you should ensure that in the
case surprise power removal the CM4_3.3V rail never fails below the CM4_1.8V rail. This is the typical case, but you should
check this in your design. In the case where it does fall below the CM4_1.8V rail, then extra circuitry is required to
disconnect the CM4_3.3V load

No reverse voltage must be applied to any pin or power up may be prevented, i.e. during power down/off no pin may have
external voltage applied otherwise this may prevent power up.

4.1. Differential Pairs

It is recommended that P/N signals within a pair are matched to better 0.15mm. Often matching between pairs is not so
critical, e.g. HDMI pair to pair matching should be better than 25mm so on a typical board no extra matching is required.

4.1.1. 100Ω Differential pairs signal lengths

On the CM4 all differential pairs are matched to better than 0.05mm (P/N signals).

 NOTE

It is recommended that pairs are also matched on the interface board.

On the CM4 pair to pairs aren’t always matched as many interfaces don’t require very accurate matching between pairs.
Table 4 documents the CM4 track length difference within each group (a non zero value is how much longer in mm that
track is compared to the signal with zero length difference)
